Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urban green spaces on mental health. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed 1,000 residents for five years. The researchers found that people living within 300 meters of a park or garden reported significantly lower levels of stress and anxiety. Interestingly, the size of the green space didn't matter as much as its accessibility. Even small pocket parks had a positive effect, provided they were well-maintained and had benches for sitting. The study also noted that the benefits were stronger for older adults and those living alone. So, the key takeaway is that proximity and quality are more important than sheer size.
